I am beginner of PSPICE. I am designing a clipper circuit in capture as given in a user guide manual. But errors are occurring that node is floating. I am attaching screenshot of schematic here(this forum does't allow attaching schematic file). Please help.

After running bias point analysis, PSPICE output file shows -

** Creating circuit file "Bias.cir"
** WARNING: THIS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED FILE MAY BE OVERWRITTEN BY SUBSEQUENT SIMULATIONS

*Libraries:
* Profile Libraries :
* Local Libraries :
* From [PSPICE NETLIST] section of C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_10.5\tools\PSpice\PSpice.ini file:
.lib "nom.lib"

*Analysis directives:
.PROBE V(alias(*)) I(alias(*)) W(alias(*)) D(alias(*)) NOISE(alias(*))
.INC "..\SCHEMATIC1.net"



**** INCLUDING SCHEMATIC1.net ****
* source SAMPLE
D_D2 GND MID D1N3940
D_D1 MID VCC D1N3940
R_R1 IN MID 1k
R_R3 GND MID 3.3k
R_R2 MID VCC 3.3k
C_C1 MID OUT 0.47u
R_R4 GND OUT 5.5k
V_V1 VCC GND 5Vdc
V_VIn IN GND 0Vdc

**** RESUMING Bias.cir ****
.END

ERROR -- Node GND is floating
ERROR -- Node MID is floating
ERROR -- Node VCC is floating
ERROR -- Node IN is floating
ERROR -- Node OUT is floating

You have used the wrong GND symbol. You should only use parts from the Pspice libraries in which case the GND symbol will be labelled zero.

Yeah keith, got it. I had used GND from CAPSYM library instead of 0 from SOURCE.
Thanks a lot.
